Jonas Olsson on Cazorla's dive and returning to winning ways

“If
it’s a dive the onus should be on the person diving. It was the wrong decision – we could all see that. I don’t like people diving but it’s a grey area and I’m not very objective as I’m a defender."

Jonas Olsson has called on Albion to bring some Christmas cheer during their coming games.

The Baggies have lost their last three games – 3-1 at Swansea, 1-0 to Stoke and Saturday’s two goal defeat at Arsenal.

Olsson is confident Albion can end their bleak recent form – preferably in Sunday’s game against West Ham.

“I think all teams have down periods,” said Olsson.

“For us it’s now. We need to get on track as soon as possible.

“Swansea
is a difficult place to go, as is Arsenal. But I don’t think we should
over-analyse the games. Stoke was more difficult to come to terms with.
But that can happen in the season.

“For us it’s important to get back on track during this Christmas period.

“On
Saturday in the first half, we weren’t at our best. We went there with ambitions to play our own game which we didn’t do in the first game. In the second half we did it better.

“Everything has to be 100 per cent when you go to a place like that.”

Olsson was unhappy with Arsenal’s first penalty – but accepted that referee Mike Jones didn’t have the easiest of jobs.

“It was the wrong decision but, that said, referees have a difficult job,” he continued.

“If
it’s a dive the onus should be on the person diving. It was the wrong decision – we could all see that. You can define cheating as pulling shirts for example. That happens in every game. I don’t like people diving but it’s a grey area and I’m not very objective as I’m a defender.

“It’s a difficult job for referees. Players make mistakes on the pitch, sometimes referees too.”
